Science Club
Paramount Study : EdTech Club Teaching Program
Age: 8-11 years
Program Length: 20 weeks
Class Time: Every Friday 4:00-6:00pm
Course Objectives
- Inspire students’ interest in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
- Develop students’ critical thinking, experimental design, and problem-solving skills.
- Help students understand and apply fundamental scientific principles through experiments and interactive activities.
- Enhance students’ teamwork and hands-on abilities.
Weekly Class Structure
Introduction (15 minutes)
- Review last week’s content, introduce this week’s theme, and spark students’ interest.
Core Learning (60 minutes)
- Explain the week’s theme and concepts through lectures, experiments, and demonstrations.
- Incorporate videos or diagrams to help students better understand abstract concepts.
Hands-on Practice (30 minutes)
- Students work in groups to conduct experiments or create projects.
- Hands-on activities deepen understanding through practice, with teachers providing guidance and feedback.
Summary and Discussion (15 minutes)
- Summarize the lesson’s content and encourage students to ask questions, discuss, and share their experimental results with classmates.
Assessment Methods
- Project Presentation:
- Students demonstrate their understanding and application of knowledge through extracurricular projects or classroom activities.
- Classroom Performance:
- Evaluate students based on their participation, teamwork, and experimental skills during class.
- Final Science Exhibition:
- In the last week, hold a small science exhibition where students showcase their projects and experiments.
- Parents and classmates can attend to observe and learn about the students’ achievements.
Teaching Resources
- Physics and chemistry experiment materials (e.g., batteries, wires, magnets, paper, feathers, etc.)
- Programming tools (e.g., Scratch or other graphical programming platforms)
- Videos, animations, and diagrams to help students grasp complex scientific concepts
- 3D printers and related software tools (available depending on circumstances)
By following this course design, students will systematically learn the fundamental principles of science and technology over 20 weeks. Through hands-on experiments and project-based activities, they will cultivate innovative thinking and practical skills.
